HISTORY OF JEWISH EDUCATION FROM 515 B. C. E. TO 220 CE During the
Periods of the Second Commonwealth and the Tannaim BY NATHAN
DRAZIN. PREFACE The aim and description of this study are set forth
in the first few pages of the introductory chapter. Professor
Swifts claim that his volume on Education in Ancient Israel to 70
A. D. is the first attempt in English to give education in Ancient
Israel any such broad treatment as has long been accorded to that
of other ancient peoples stands undisputed. Since the publication
of that treatise, another study of considerable merit entitled, The
Jewish School from the Earliest Times to the Year 500 of the
Present Era, has been offered by Nathan Morris. Both authors,
however, undertook too long a period of Jewish history for
exhaustive treatment. This study is limited to the periods of the
Second Com monwealth and the Tannaim, by which time the Jewish
school was fully evolved and tested. It is the first attempt to
give a full and comprehensive account of this ancient school system
of the Jews. Problems not directly affecting Jewish education of
the said periods are avoided. For this reason, such topics as the
canonization of the Bible, the origin of the Pharisees and the
Sadducees, and similar controversial subjects have been omitted.
This study was originally prepared and submitted to the Board of
University Studies of the Johns Hopkins Uni versity in 1937 as a
doctorate dissertation. Since then a careful revision of the entire
manuscript has been made. The author gratefully acknowledges his
indebtedness to Professor Florence E. Bamberger, and Doctors E.
Earle Franklin, Sidney B. Hoenig and Samuel Rosenblatt for their
constructive criticisms andhelpful suggestions in the preparation
of this volume. To his wife, Celia H. Dmin, the author acknowledges
a deep debt of gratitude for her gentle encouragement at all times
a true help meet 1 Special thanks are also due Misses Ida Friedman
and Edythe Herman. vii Vlil PREFACE In conclusion, the author
sincerely thanks the Shaarei Tfiloh Congregation of Baltimore, of
which he has been the spiritual leader for the last seven years,
for their splendid cooperation and indulgence without which this
volume would not be possible. N. D. October, 1940 TABLE OF CONTENTS
